Charcot Foot Reconstruction
Charcot foot reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair and stabilize a severely weakened or deformed foot caused by Charcot neuroarthropathy, a condition associated with nerve damage that reduces sensation and leads to bone destruction and deformity. The goal is to realign and fuse the broken or misaligned bones, often with hardware like pins, screws, or plates, to restore stability, relieve pain, and prevent further deterioration. This complex surgery helps patients regain a functional foot, reduce the risk of ulcers or amputations, and improve overall mobility and quality of life.
